Through the centuries, there have always been fearless men and women, which were possessed with the urge to discover new horizons, to dive into the depths of light or darkness. Men and women whose ambition is to find new routes through unknown lands, through oceans or skies, new peoples and new worlds. Explorers and adventurers that had the need to trespass frontiers real or imaginary, physical or mental.

When those adventurers came back to the metropolis, they had the need to show others the perils and marvels they have suffered and seen. To do that, there were men that travelled on those expeditions recording events, places… and the animal, beasts or monsters that inhabited them. Those men were the authors of numberless Bestiarios where one could see birds that devoured men, dragons breathing fire, monsters of seven heads, flying snakes, giant octopuses that swallowed an entire ship with its crew and all kind of beasts real or imaginary.

To this day, new Bestiarios are still created peopled with new kinds of wondrous beings. The territories of the unknown are still wide open, challenging us.
